I have gotten my wife to watch, but she doesn't go out of the way to watch it. But she knows to leave me alone when it is on.

My wife greatly enjoyed the Van Gogh episode, but has not yet been compelled to watch many others.

The kids to my surprise have really enjoyed the show. The "funny haired one" is their favorite (11th).

Doctor Who is set to celebrate the sci-fi show’s 50th anniversary with a one-off adventure featuring all ELEVEN actors to have played the Time Lord since his arrival in 1963.

Show boss Steven Moffat is close to completing a script which will see the current Doctor, Matt Smith, needing the assistance of ALL his police box predecessors – even if three of them have died.

The half-century special, to be broadcast in November, will use studio trickery to resurrect the first three Doctors – William Hartnell, Patrick Troughton and Jon Pertwee – in brief flashback scenes.

Tom Baker, Peter Davison, Colin Baker, Sylvester McCoy and Paul McGann have all signed up to record an anniversary audio adventure, and are keen to appear in the historic TV show, too.

Christopher Eccleston is said to be reconsidering an earlier decision not to take part, and David Tennant – a friend of Moffat – has hinted that he has been invited to reprise his role.

The final key to the special was Eccleston, who had previously said that he had no plans to return to the role but recently conceded he believed he “still had more to do with the character”. But companions such as Birmingham’s Arthur Darvill (Rory), Karen Gillan (Amy Pond), Billie Piper (Rose Tyler) and Freema Agyeman (Martha Jones) have all indicated that they are not involved.

There may, however, be a role for Alex Kingston, who plays the Doctor’s wife and who may be responsible for bringing all the previous incarnations together – against the Time Lord’s wishes.

Both Matt Smith and David Tennant are tight-lipped about the adventure.

“We’re as much in the dark as the majority of other people,” says Smith. “I haven’t seen the script so I have no idea what is happening. One thing’s for sure, we’ll make it the biggest in the show’s history.”

Tennant, interviewed on a radio show, claimed that he had yet to be invited – but gave the presenter a knowing wink.

It will not be the first time that previous Doctors have been gathered together. The 10th anniversary in 1973 was celebrated by The Three Doctors, starring Pertwee and Troughton, with film of Hartnell on a computer screen.

The 20th anniversary was marked by The Five Doctors, with Davison, Troughton and Pertwee joined by Hartnell lookalike Richard Hurndall, with film footage of Tom Baker, who had declined to take part.

The 30th anniversary – after the series had been axed – was celebrated with a bizarre charity crossover, which found McCoy, Pertwee, Tom Baker, Davison and Colin Baker in an episode of EastEnders.

The show was not on air when the 40th anniversary rolled round but an audiotape adventure starred McGann, Colin Baker, McCoy and Davison with additional archive recordings of Pertwee.

Doctor Who is returning to the BBC a few days earlier than first thought, on Saturday the 30th of March...

It's going to be another Doctor Who-themed Easter weekend in 2013, as the BBC confirms that Who's current series is to return on Saturday the 30th of March. That's a full week earlier than most of us were expecting, and you'll hear no complaints from this quarter.

Here's what the BBC Blog had to say:

"The Doctor is back in a fantastic adventure written by the show’s lead writer and executive producer, Steven Moffat. The episode - the first in a run of 8 - is directed by Colm McCarthy whose previous credits include Hustle, Spooks and Endeavour.

Later adventures in the run include episodes written by Mark Gatiss (Victory of the Daleks, Night Terrors) and Neil Gaiman.

Steven Moffat has promised us that in terms of Doctor Who, 2013 will be a ‘tremendous’ year and we’ll be bringing you more about the forthcoming adventures soon. But if you can’t wait for the TARDIS to return on 30 March.

Doctor Who Revisited refers to the BBC America specials to coincide with the premieres of classic stories. They are showing one story from each Doctor, beginning 27th January with Hartnell story The Aztecs.

Excellent show. I didn't know they were going to have a documentary on the first Doctor as a lead in. Apart from the historical bent of the episode, I think part of the reason they chose this episode was that its one of Hartnell's shorter complete episodes. Back them some of them had 12 or 13 parts.

What the Raiders fan has said is true, our customs are different. What Al Davis has said is unimportant, and we do not hear his words.

Classic monsters confirmed for Doctor Who return
We're not going to spoil it in the title, but some old foes are back for Doctor Who series 7. Details right here...

We figure that if you've got this far, you're aware that spoilers are likely to follow. But just to be on the safe side, if you want to go into Doctor Who series 7 part 2 absolutely cold, it's best to look away now.

Still here?

Right then. The fine folks at SFX have broken the news that the ice warriors are, as suspected, definitely returning to Doctor Who, for the first time since the show was revived. One of the show's most iconic monsters, they've actually not been seen in Who since the mid-70s, in the Jon Pertwee story The Monster Of Peladon. They did get a brief namecheck in The Waters Of Mars though, back in 2009.

This time, they're going to be seen again. Mark Gatiss has penned the episode that sees the ice warriors' return, and what's more, they're going to be trapped on a submarine, according to the report.

The ice warriors will be back in the third episode of the new run of Doctor Who, which kicks off on March 30th. Excellent news.

Patrick Troughton set the table for all Doctors to follow. He brought humor to the role that has been the staple of the show since. It was very apt that both Tennant and Smith were cited as him being the Doctor most want to emulate.
